I would recommend that you work closely with the Yezidi Human Rights Organization on the ground and the Assyrian Aid Society. The Assyrian Aid Society has been very helpful. They collect donations from around the world, from churches, and they provide equally to Yazidis and Christians.
From the government side, I was there in 2015, and I was there in 2014, at the time of the attack. One time, at the beginning of the winter in one of the IDP camps in Zakho, more than seven trailers came with winter clothing. The people who made donations were there, and they tried to distribute. They probably distributed to 50 or 100 people and then as the donors left, they closed the trailer doors and said, “That's enough for you. We gave you more than enough.”
In late 2014 to 2015, I went to Iraq with the Hindu guru, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. He donated 110 tonnes of food and clothing. We were there to make sure that this donation reached the people who needed the donation and not the government.
I believe that if the international community worked together, they could work with the people directly because the people are suffering, and the government is taking advantage of it. We hope you could work with the people on the ground, with the Yazidis, the Christians, the Sabians, and all who are displaced in those camps to make sure that the aid reaches them.
I can show you hundreds of pictures of the sick people. They are screaming for money just to have an operation or they will face severe health problems.
We hope you can work with the people who have suffered instead of working with the government.
